Job description

Roof Plumbing Apprenticeship – Kickstart a Trade With Real Future Growth

Roof plumbing is one of those trades that keeps you moving, thinking, and building skills you’ll use for life. If you’re keen to work outdoors, learn a specialised trade, and join a crew that actually enjoys what they do, this is your chance.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll learn how to install and repair metal roofing, gutters, downpipes, flashings, rainwater systems and more. It’s a mix of problem‑solving, physical work, and real craftsmanship — the kind of trade where you can point at a roof and say, “I built that.”

Why Roof Plumbing Is a Great Career

• High demand — Every home, business and warehouse needs a roof, and good roof plumbers are always needed.
• Great earning potential — As you progress, your skills translate directly into higher pay.
• Outdoor, active work — No sitting at a desk all day.
• Clear career pathways — Move into supervision, estimating, running your own jobs, or even starting your own business.
• Specialised skills — You’ll learn a trade that not everyone can do, and that’s what makes it valuable.

What We’re Looking For

• You’ve got a car and licence — getting to sites on time matters.
• You hold a White Card — safety first.
• You’re reliable, switched on, and ready to learn — attitude beats experience.
• Previous construction experience is a bonus, but not essential.
• You’re not afraid of heights — roofs are kind of our thing.

What You’ll Get

• Paid on‑the‑job training
• A supportive team that actually teaches you
• Real progression as your skills grow
• Work across a variety of sites — no two days look the same
• A trade you can take anywhere in Australia
